ODOT: I-90 from East 55th to Dead Man's Curve closed

CLEVELAND -- If you travel across I-90 along the lakeshore, be prepared for some detours this morning thanks to Superstorm Sandy.

The Ohio Department of Transportation has shut down I-90 in both directions due to high water created by waves crashing in off the lake.

Then early this morning, all lanes were CLOSED on I-90 EB at E. 55th St due to high water from the lake. Drivers should detour via E. 55th St. to St. Clair to Eddy Rd to I-90 EB.

ODOT says crews are monitoring the situation and will reopen the highway when the situation is safe.
